Choosing a Research Topic
Choosing a Research Topic
Since your paper must be related to your project, you should already have a general topic in mind. Remember, your paper topic does not have to be exactly the same as your project, but it should be related. For example, just because you have chosen to make a surfboard for your project does not mean that you have to write your paper about surfboard construction, or even surfboards. Instead, surfing can be your topic.
